leggs, eagles, hawkes, turkeys, etc., etc., with beast’s claws, beares, arrahacounes, squirrels, etc.’ “Closely connected with this style of personal ornamentation, and of interest on account of the wide field it afforded for the display of individual taste,[30] were the methods of dressing the hair. To specify a tithe of the fashions that prevailed in this particular among the different tribes, or among the members of the same tribe, would take more time than we can well afford.” Professor Carr proceeds to discuss at some length the various methods of hair-dressing, of hair-ornamentation, etc. I omit much of his discourse. He states that medicine-men in Virginia “‘shave all their heads saving their creste which they weare in manner of a cokscombe,’ and ‘fasten a small black birde above one of their eares as a badge of their office.’”[31] [Illustration: FIG. 318. (S. about 1–4.) Types of problematical forms from H. M. Braun’s collection, East St. Louis, Illinois. Most of the specimens found near Edwardsville (as were these), not far from the famous Cahokia group of mounds, seem to be typical of that region. The specimen to the left, no. 1595, is more of the Wisconsin than of the Mississippi Valley type. The two to the right are similar to Georgia and Tennessee forms. All of these are unfinished, except perhaps the one to the right. Materials: steatite and rose quartz. ] “On solemn occasions, as on gala-days, the Iroquois wore above the ear a tuft of the feathers, or the wing, or the whole skin, of some rare bird;[32] and the Virginia Indians tied up the lock of hair which they leave full length on the left side of the head, with an ‘arteficyall and well labored knott, stuck with many colored gew-gawes, as the cast head or brow-antle of a deare, the hand of their enemie dryed, croisettes of bright and shyning copper, like the newe moone. Many wore the whole skyne of a hauke stuffed, with the wings abroad ... and to the feathers they will fasten a little rattle, about the bignes of the chape of a rapier, which they take from the tayle of a snake, and some tymes divers kinds of shells, hanging loose by small purflects or threeds, that, being shaken as they move, they might make a certaine murmuring or whisteling noise by gathering wynd, in which they seeme to take great jollity, and hold yt a kind of bravery.’[33] [Illustration: FIG. 319. (S. 1–4.) Four unfinished winged objects from Beloit College collection, Wisconsin. Material: mottled granite and porphyry. To work hard materials into these forms must have required both skill and patience on the part of the natives. ]
